Opening the Main Gate:

The main gate features a walk-through design with a secure latch mechanism. To open, simply lift the handle on the non-hinged side. This action disengages the latch, allowing the gate to swing open in either direction. To close, gently push the gate shut until the latch mechanism clicks into place, ensuring it is securely fastened.

Using the Small Pet Door:

An 8-inch by 8-inch small pet door is integrated into the main gate, allowing smaller pets like cats or small dogs to pass through without requiring the main gate to be opened. This door can be opened by sliding a small latch located on its side. Ensure the small pet door is securely latched when you do not wish for smaller pets to pass through.
